The woman was brought back to the scene and was identified by witnesses who were outside at the time of the shooting.

KTRK issued a statement thanking a witness who photographed the incident and was able to help police identify the suspected shooter.

Pleasant said police have recovered a semi-automatic gun. She said it's unclear what led to the shooting.

Philip Bruce, station manager for KHOU Channel 11, said his station has received odd e-mails from a woman of the same name. In the e-mails, she accused the station of spying on her or telling her story without her permission, Bruce said. Once, she sent a copy of her driver's licence.

"My reporter recognized her on the scene," Bruce said, adding that none of the e-mails were threatening.

It was the second shooting at the station in just over a month.

Before dawn on Feb. 20, shots were fired toward the parking lot. No injuries were reported, but five cars were damaged by bullets.
